If you’re hosting a brunch or have a home full of house guests, a pitcher of Bloody Marys is a welcome addition to the morning. Aside from the classic additions of Worcestershire sauce (we call for a vegetarian version but you can use whatever you have on hand), horseradish, hot sauce, and celery salt, we add two other ingredients to make this version special. A splash of dill pickle juice lends loads of savoury-tangy goodness, and a last-minute addition of lime-flavoured seltzer lightens the drink a bit and makes it slightly effervescent.

Ingredients

Canned low-sodium vegetable juice

6 cup(s), regular or spicy variety

Pickle juice

4 tbsp(s), dill variety

Horseradish
